Irmos: With Thy divine light illumine the souls of those who with love rise at dawn unto Thee, O Good One, that they may know Thee, O Word of God, to be the true God Who calleth all forth from the darkness of sin.
We honor thee as is meet, O father, who wast sanctified by fasting and didst end thy life in blood; for the memory of the righteous is ever celebrated and commemorated with hymns of praise.
Theotokion: O all-pure one, we hymn the Lord Who clothed Himself in mortal flesh taken from Thee, which was subject to the passions, and Who hath made it capable of becoming divine, through his unconfused hypostatic union therewith.
The Lord, Who wisely transformeth all and arrangeth it for the good, as He desireth, through thine abstinence and the glory of thy martyrdom transformed the foul murder committed by the ungodly.
Taking the full armor of the Cross upon thy shoulders, O father, thou didst follow after Christ, forgetting all that lay behind thee, intent upon the race which lay ahead.
